I NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket Nos. 50-295; 50-304 l

As a result of the inspection conducted on July 17-21, and August 11, 1989, and in accordance with 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C - General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions (1989), the following violation was identified:

Technical Specification Section 6.2, entitled " Plant Operating Procedures",

requires that detailed written procedures be prepared, approved, and adhered to for the Fire Protection Program.

Sections G.8 and G.9 of the licensee's station housekeeping / fire protection procedure require that in areas where transient fireload is excessive and presents a possible hazard to the plant equipment, an increased surveillance of the area may be required. The station fire marshal shall be consulted regarding areas of concern and the fire marshal will determine if additional fire equipment and increased surveillance are required.

Contrary to the above, on July 17, 1989, the licensee failed to adhere to the housekeeping / fire protection procedure in that the fire marshal was not

-contacted to determine if increased surveillance of elevation 579 of the auxiliary building was required due to the existence of a transient combustible (acetelyne/ oxygen welder's cart) that presented a possible hazard to redundant plant safe shutdown equipment (auxiliary feedwater pumps and cabling). The licensee had preaf 9urly requested an exemption in this area (Fire Area / Fire Zone 11.3) from fu r automatic suppression, full automatic detection, and 20 feet separation between MJundant components and cabling for redundant safe shutdown equipment. This condition existed from July 17-19, 1989.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation: (1) the corrective actions that have been taken and the results achieved; (2) the corrective actions that will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
